About this listen

One boy and his toy are about to change everything....

Jack loves his childhood toy Dur Pig. DP has always been there for him, through good and bad. Until one Christmas Eve something terrible happens - DP is lost. But Christmas Eve is a night for miracles and lost causes, a night when all things can come to life...even toys. And Jack’s newest toy - the Christmas Pig (DP’s annoying replacement) - has a daring plan: Together they’ll embark on a magical journey to seek something lost and to save the best friend Jack has ever known....

A heartwarming adventure about one child’s love for his most treasured thing and how far he will go to find it. A tale for the whole family to fall in love with, from one of the world’s greatest storytellers.

Delightful and Touching

Really surprised at how much I enjoyed this. Then again, I’m not surprised at Rowling’s writing. But the vocals were awesome as well. P. S. I’m almost 60 yrs. old and thoroughly enjoyed this.

Good old-fashioned read-aloud

Perfect length chapters before bed. Nice production, though background noise was distracting at times.

No doubt that this will be a Christmas Classic

The combination of Rowling's amazing imagination and writing skills has given us another literary jewel.

Having read reviews before purchase I worried about the sound. Some complained about not being able to hear with the special effects and one narrator's accent. I have no idea what those people are talking about. I listened to the first half of this while out walking. No headphones, just had the the phone in my pocket with sound up. This doesn't work well with all books, but I heard every word clearly. Listened to the rest at home and never had to rewind. Even on my cheap, old One Plus phone, this story's sound was excellent.

It's not for tiny kids who scare easily, but if they're up to The Wizard of Oz, they will be able to enjoy this and learn some valuable lessons as well.
